Description
Braided Hair Large Cent Struck on
Half Cent Planchet, Fine Details
Undated Braided Hair Large Cent--Struck on a Half Cent Planchet,
Scratches--NCS. Fine Details. 4.69 gm. The Braided Hair large
cent design would limit the dates of manufacture to 1839-1857, but
the half cents of 1840-1849 were proof-only, so for practical
purposes we can say that this piece was likely made between 1849
and 1857 (excluding 1852), the years that the Mint made business
strike half cents. All of STATES on the reverse, as well as parts
of UNITED and OF on that side and most of the date on the obverse,
are off the flan. Chocolate-brown surfaces show a number of long
scratches through the fields, and each side exhibits significant
wear. (A newly struck half cent would weigh 5.44 gm.) Still, a
highly desirable example of an early wrong-planchet error. MRB VG8.
